do you know if the 135i you test drove had the sport pack, or m pack? It'll have M logo's on the shifter and steering wheel, some countries also get the M badge on the back, and the door sills, the US versions only get the shifter & steering wheel.
I went from an M3 to the 135i and I couldn't be more happy, my 135i feels connected just like the M3, more than the new e9x m3 I think, I did not like the e9x at all, it is just too big and felt too big, I would choose a c6 vett before the e9x m3, they feel similar sized.
